For you lucky 50/50 winners, you may have Genshin Impact’s Diluc in your roster. He’s a five-star claymore and pyro user hailing from Mondstadt, who runs the Dawn Winery and Angel’s Share Tavern. He looks very similar to the Darknight Hero seen swooping around Mondstadt at night… but surely, that’s just a coincidence. Our Diluc build guide shows you how to get the best out of him.

Here’s everything in our Genshin Impact Diluc build guide:
What’s the best Genshin Impact Diluc build?
Diluc is a five-star character featuring on the standard banner, who uses a claymore weapon and the pyro element. You can also get Diluc from the five-star selector.
| Best weapon | Wolf’s Gravestone |
| Weapon substitutes | Redhorn Stonethresher, Serpent Spine |
| Best artifact set | Crimson Witch of Flames |
| Main stats | Sands – Attack Goblet – Pyro damage bonus Circlet – Crit rate/damage |
| Sub stats | Attack, crit rate, crit damage, energy recharge |
Diluc’s best build is as a main DPS, armed with a Wolf’s Gravestone and a set of Crimson Witch of Flames artifacts. Diluc is a powerful lad with an easy, high-impact playstyle. With his combination of blunt and pyro damage, he’s capable of taking out all non-elemental shields with relative ease while still having access to elemental reactions.
Diluc does rely on Genshin Impact’s Bennett and Genshin Impact’s Xianyun in order to truly excel – but if you have Xianyun, his plunge damage becomes formidable. Not only is it the highest in the game, but with vaporize reactions in there too, you’re onto a winner.
When you get used to the cycle of Diluc’s burst, skill, normal attack, skill, normal attack, skill, and pair him up with the right team comp, he can rip through a lot of enemies with ease. Plus, he’s really cool – who doesn’t want to play a mixture of Batman and a grumpy Danger Days-era Gerard Way?
How do I use Diluc?
Diluc has great potential as long as you get yourself familiar with his kit, and swap out after his ult without losing his pyro infusion. If you use him with Xianyun, then make sure to pop her ultimate then Diluc’s, so you get the most uptime. Then, plunge away with your pyro infusion to get some fantastic numbers out of his attacks.
Remember – if you have Diluc equipped with a four-piece set of Crimson Witch of Flames, make sure to use his elemental skill three times in a row to activate the set’s damage bonus.
What are the best Diluc weapons?
Wolf’s Gravestone is the best weapon for Diluc and is considered to essentially be his ‘signature weapon’. It trades some damage for a higher level of versatility and comfort and is consistently strong across all team comps. The Redhorn Stonethresher is another extremely powerful choice for Diluc, offering an amazing boost to his crit. However, it does bind Diluc to Bennett in order to make up for its low-base attack.
The Serpent Spine is easily the best four-star option – at high refinement ranks it can go toe to toe with most five-star claymores. Alternatively, Blackcliff Slasher and Prototype Archaic are both viable options at low refinement ranks.
If you plan on using Diluc in a burn or burgeon team comp, you can use Kinich’s signature weapon – Fang of the Mountain King – to improve the elemental damage of this reaction.
| Wolf’s Gravestone | Stat: Attack Skill: Increases attack by 20%. Attacks against enemies with less than 30% HP increase all party members’ attack by 40% for 12 seconds. This can only occur once every 30 seconds | Standard banner |
